Chinese Style Fried Pork Chops

• 4 pork chops or 4 pork tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice wine
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 dash pepper or 1 dash five-spice powder
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 egg
• 6 tablespoons cornstarch
• oil (for frying)

1. Tenderize meat pork with a meat mallet. If you're short on time, pound to at least 1/4 inch thickness or thinner.
2. Mix together all the ingredients except cornstarch and oil and pour over pork. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes. (I've marinated it as long as 1 day and as little as 10 minutes.).
3. Just before frying, pour cornstarch on top of pork and stir into marinade.
4. Heat enough oil in a large skillet to cover bottom. Place pork in pan when oil begins to shimmer. Cook pork chops over med-high heat until cooked through.
